Affording St. Luke's

St. Luke's Episcopal School understands the financial challenges that come with a quality education and is dedicated to making our school accessible to all qualified students, regardless of their financial situation. Our tuition assistance program is designed to support families who might not otherwise be able to afford this opportunity, promoting a student body that is diverse in both socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.

St. Luke’s considers all applications for tuition assistance without regard to race, age, gender, national origin, disability, or religion. Assistance is awarded based on the demonstrated financial need of the parents or guardians of students who have been admitted and enrolled for the upcoming term.

Additionally, scholarships are available and do not require a financial aid application. These scholarships are automatically considered based on the student's enrollment. However, there is one specific scholarship—the Lion Scholar—which is a merit-based award for middle school students and requires a separate application.
